Artificial lift
This article from the SPE Artificial Lift Technical Section highlights a positive reality of our industry, one that centers on connecting and collaborating for success.
This case study describes how edge computing and industrial internet of things platforms were deployed to automate and optimize production operations across four distinct basins.
This paper proposes a novel, real-time pump failure prediction method using machine learning with scaled load ratio to accurately predict pump failures using only surface pump load data.

An experimental study of a shroud-type downhole separator for a pumped horizontal or deviated well is presented in this study. -
Do you know how many of your organization’s wells are artificially lifted? Or, more importantly, do you know what fraction of your production volumes are dependent on artificial lift? I would wager that the percentages are higher than you would expect, and I encourage you to seek out that information and share it.

This paper describes a comprehensive approach to mitigate systemic failure in gas-lift valves in presalt wells.
-
This paper describes a study aiming to provide input for the well-completion-strategy design and operational parameters for a carbonate reservoir experiencing electrical-submersible-pump failures.
-
This paper describes the findings of a root-cause analysis of wellhead-penetrator failures in Canadian steam-assisted gravity-drainage operations and the mitigation measures taken.
-
This paper discusses the field implementation of a downhole chemical methodology that has positively affected overall productivity for a mature Kuwait field.

SponsoredRod lift failure frequency in horizontal wells drives significant operating expenses. Understanding why these failures occur leads to a solution — production optimization with automated setpoint changes, which can extend the life of this equipment and reduce downtime.
-
This paper describes an artificial-lift technology, a subsurface compressor system, that simultaneously removes liquids, increases gas production, and improves recoverable reserves in gas wells.
-
The way gas injection is used to lift oil and water to the surface needs to change because better control and data may mean more production. At a time when engineers are managing so many wells, they need help from machines.
-
Getting more out of gas lift requires understanding how gas injections interact with the oil, water, and gas flowing up the well—in other words, multiphase flow. Some papers are listed to get you started.
